Karma as postulated by Theosophists is much the same
as the karma of eastern religious traditions. Karma is the law of cause and
effect. C W Leadbeater described Karma as the
justice of the universe. It goes hand in hand with reincarnation. As a general
rule you get what you deserve according to your actions. During your present
life you will experience either good or bad karma, depending on what you have
done in this or a past life. You will also generate good and bad Karma for
future lives.

It is common to have both good and bad karma during
the same life-time. Karma is not determinism, however it does not force an
action, it simply forces a situation. It is still up to the individual to make
the best of a situation. By doing the best one can in the current life, they
will produce good karma for the next life.
